Motown Sounds of Touch will play Saturday, Sept. 17, at the War Memorial Building in a fundraiser for the Museums of Historic Hopkinsville-Christian County. Tickets, $50 per person, are available at the Pennyroyal Area Museum, 217 E. Ninth St.
The group — from Dayton, Ohio — is known for its energetic tribute to Motown hits from artists such as Earth, Wind and Fire, Marvin Gaye, The O’Jays, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross and The Commodores. They played four years ago in another museum fundraiser in Hopkinsville.
“This fundraising event harkens back to the local nightclub scene of the 1960s when world-famous acts played right here in Hoptown as part of the Chitlin Circuit, and it offers a perfect opportunity to capture more of our community’s history,” Alliss Keller, executive director, said in a news release. “If you have pictures, documents, high school yearbooks, or other artifacts related to Hopkinsville and Christian County in the 1960s, please contact the Museums of Hopkinsville.”
